NAME

       safenet - Driver for SafeNet compatible UPS equipment

NOTE

       This  man  page  only  documents  the hardware-specific features of the
       safenet  driver.   For  information  about   the   core   driver,   see
       nutupsdrv(8).

SUPPORTED HARDWARE

       This  driver supports UPS equipment which can be controlled via SafeNet
       v1.0 for Windows (serial interface only).

EXTRA ARGUMENTS

       This  driver  supports  the  following   optional   settings   in   the
       ups.conf(5):

       manufacturer=value
              Autodetection  of  this  parameter  is  not possible yet (and it
              probably never will be). Therefore,  this  user  defined  string
              accepts any name. The default is unknown.

       modelname=value
              Like manufacturer above. The default is unknown.

       serialnumber=value
              Like manufacturer above. The default is unknown.

       ondelay=value
              Time  to wait before switching on the UPS (minutes). Defaults to
              1 minute.

       offdelay=value
              Time to wait before shutting down the UPS (seconds). Defaults to
              30 seconds.

UPSCMD

       This driver supports some instant commands (see upscmd(8)):

       test.battery.start
              Start UPS self test

       test.battery.stop
              Cancel UPS self test

       test.failure.start
              Start simulated power failure

       test.failure.stop
              Cancel simulated power failure

       beeper.enable
              Enable the UPS beeper

       beeper.mute
              Temporarily mute the UPS beeper

       beeper.toggle
              Toggle the UPS beeper

       shutdown.return
              Turn  off  the  load  and wait for the power to return. Uses the
              timer defined by offdelay.

       shutdown.reboot
              Turn off the  load  and  return.  Uses  the  timers  defined  by
              offdelay and ondelay.

KNOWN PROBLEMS

       If  you  run the shutdown.return command with mains present, the output
       may stay on or switch off and not back on  again.  The  shutdown.reboot
       command  will unconditionally switch on the load again (with or without
       mains present).

       If the driver is called with the  '-k'  option  (or  through  upsdrvctl
       shutdown) it tries to detect which command should be used in an attempt
       to stay off until mains is present again or to cycle the output if  the
       power returned in the mean time. This isn't bullet proof and you should
       be prepared that the power will either  not  be  shutdown  or  that  it
       doesn't return when the power comes back.
